TRASHLESS TAKEAWAY
Have you ever ordered a meal from your favourite takeaway restaurant, only to be horrified at the amount of plastic you end up throwing out? Us too! That’s why we launched the Trashless Takeaway website – to help customers find restaurants and cafés that accept reusable containers.

SHAREWASTE PROJECT
What's the story?
If you're like us, you produce awful lots of organic scraps, e.g. when cooking. Heaps of it, really. Peels, used coffee grounds... Wouldn't it be great if you could turn all that stuff into new soil rather than adding yet another pile to landfill? We think it would. And that's the idea behind ShareWaste. It helps you find someone in your neighbourhood who's willing to accept extra scraps and compost it or feed it to their worms or animals.
